About

8-Bit Armies, released in 2016, is a retro Real-Time Strategy game that offers a unique combination of colorful voxel graphics and fast-paced gameplay. Developed by Petroglyph, this indie title stands out due to its accessibility, catering to both newcomers and veterans of the genre. With a variety of gameplay modes, including a campaign with 25 single-player missions and 10 co-op missions, players can engage in thrilling battles or test their skills against others in multiplayer skirmishes.

PC gamers who enjoy strategic thinking with a laid-back approach will find 8-Bit Armies appealing, as its low difficulty level makes it a perfect entry point for those new to the RTS genre. The game's casual mechanics allow players to experiment with different strategies without the pressure of high-stakes performance. Additionally, the various game modes and missions contribute to its replayability, making it a suitable choice for gamers seeking a fun, engaging experience.

While 8-Bit Armies has received a modest rating of 52/100, it still holds potential for those who appreciate indie games and retro graphics. If you're looking for a light-hearted PC game that doesn't take itself too seriously while delivering enjoyable gameplay, this title may be worth trying.

Performance profile

Released in April 2016, 8-Bit Armies sits in the DirectX 11 generation. Comfortable on any modern mid-range GPU at 1440p; even an RTX 3050 or RX 6600 typically delivers 4K60 at High settings.

As a strategy title, 8-Bit Armies is typically CPU-bound rather than GPU-bound — single-thread CPU performance dictates framerate during large-scale battles, end-game saves and late-game AI turns. A fast modern 6-core will help more than a GPU upgrade.

Extremely light — 8-Bit Armies runs at 60 FPS 1080p on any integrated GPU (Intel Iris Xe, AMD Radeon Graphics) or a decade-old discrete card like the GTX 1050. A current-gen RTX 4060 pushes 4K Ultra without effort.
